keyboard becomes extremely slow
by mh＠mike.franken.de 26 Nov '23

26 Nov '23

Hi *, for some time now I have a problem with the keyboard on my notebook. It becomes extremely slow, i.e. only one or two keypresses are shown every 10 seconds. Special keyboard shortcuts like Alt-F4 or Ctrl-F5 are working as expected. Switching to a Linux console with Ctrl-Alt-[0-9] is still working, too. In the Linux console typing works without any problems then. Switching back to KDE again/still shows the problem. The only "solution" I found is to logout and login. For a while the keyboard then works as expected, until the same problem reoccurs. The intervals the problem shows up vary between once an evening to every 10 minutes. It happens in all programs one can type anything, i.e. OO Writer, graphical terminals or even dialog boxes of any kind. It happens with the internal notebook keyboard and also with an external USB keyboard. Machine: Type: Convertible System: Dell product: XPS 13 9310 2-in-1 v: N/A ´ openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230509 Any idea, what the reason might be and what to do against it? TIA. Bye. Michael.

[oS-EN] Question on full disk encription
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '23

02 Sep '23

Hi, new laptop here, and I decided to install Leap 15.4 with full disk encryption, no LVM (a feature I wanted to have for years, so I'm happy). It asks for the password twice (contrary to my customs, I'm using plymouth). It asks once before grub loads. Well, ok, there is no separate /boot, so it has to read "/" which is encrypted. Nice. But after selecting the boot entry in grub, it asks again. Once, despite being 3 partitions ("/", "/boot" and swap). Ok. Is there some way to make it ask only once? I guess not, but perhaps I'm wrong. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Kudos to Devs on 15.5 and the sane decision for a 15.6!
by David C. Rankin 22 Aug '23

Just a shout-out to the SUSE/openSUSE devs for making 15.5 and a future 15.6 a reality. SUSE, then openSUSE, now something in between has always put out solid releases that provide user-choice to the greatest extent possible. User-choice has always been the corner-stone of Linux. While microOS Aeon and Kalpa may make sense for enterprise, it to a large extent eliminates user-choice in favor of the immutable OS craze of loop-mounted everything. A traditional release preserves the hard won community that openSUSE enjoys and 15.6 will just ensure that continues into the future. Good job devs! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Opensuse, just right now firing up a 15.5, kde updater applet shows one update, but when trying to apply it fails. 15.5, libzypp update, but nothing provides libsolv-tools ---------------- nothing provides 'libsolv-tools = 0.7.24' needed by the to be installed libzypp-17.31.13-150400.3.30.1.x86_64 -------------------- what gives? ty

run kcminit when mouse connects
by mh＠mike.franken.de 13 Jul '23

13 Jul '23

Hi *, there are known bugs, that for a mouse, that is unplugged and plugged in again, settings are not always properly set as configured. Running /usr/bin/kcminit /usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/plasma/kcminit/kcm_mouse_init.so solves this problem. Does anyone know, where/how this would happen automatically without those known bugs? Is there any other way to run the command mentioned above as soon as a mouse conntects? For the moment I have created a shortcut, but this is annoying in case of a KVM switch. TIA. Bye. Michael.

AMD ryzen 1700 zenstates C6
by Peter McD 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

Hi, I'm about installing a fresh Leap 15.5. For Leap 15.4 and Tumbleweed my processor needed disabling zenstate c6, and someone provided a python script which did just that. Is this still relevant for a "fresh" installation of Leap 15.5 /Tumbleweed? Below is a link to the problem. cu Peter https://forum.level1techs.com/t/ryzen-and-disabling-c6-c-state-the-curse-of…

imap servers
by joe a 02 Jul '23

02 Jul '23

While doing preliminary work to retiring a legacy proprietary email system, my own, looking at maybe setting up an IMAP server, just for the fun of it. On a fresh openSuse 15.4 I see none installed by default and when I go sniffing about in YAST, i find several flavors available for install: dovecot dovecot23 imap (and sundry) Funny I was just ready about 3 body problems . . .

Why is Nvidia repo failing for 15.4? [PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)]?
by David C. Rankin 01 Jul '23

01 Jul '23

All, On a couple of zypper refresh attempts lately, I receive: Problem retrieving files from 'nvidia'. Download (curl) error for 'https://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/leap/15.4/repodata/repomd.xml': Error code: Curl error 92 Error message: HTTP/2 stream 5 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1) History: - Giving up after 3 attempts. Is this a known issue, or something spurious on my end? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

kernel config in home:tiwai:kernel:android
by Adam Mizerski 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

I was interested in installing waydroid. I found few competing packages in the build service, but one in home:onlyJak0b:Stable:waydroid seemed the best for me. Anyway, they all require a kernel with additional modules like ashmem and binder. The recommended projects are home:tiwai:kernel:android and home:Dead_Mozay:kernel:android:TW. They contain config.addon.tar.bz2 file with a config snippet, which adds required options. But in both cases in build log there's something like this: [ 31s] + /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/check-for-config-changes .config.orig .config [ 31s] Changes after running `make oldconfig': [...] [ 31s] -CONFIG_ANDROID=y [ 31s] -CONFIG_ASHMEM=y which seems to be removing those options and kernel is built without the needed modules. Anyone got hints on how to fix this?
